It’s been great to see N’s tennis starting back up again. It was a long break, and I’m glad the coaches have put on a summer coaching programme. Usually it would stop for the holidays. And we’ve got the bonus…
While the opportunity for private tennis lessons has been back for a few weeks with Covid-19 easing, group lessons weren’t an option at that point. N didn’t go back to his individual lessons due to tonsillitis and the OH initially…
It’s taken until the final term of year 4. Five school years of reading. I was despairing. But finally we have found a book that N wants to read, is enjoying, and hasn’t complained when he’s needed to do his…
*Ad-contains affiliate links While it looks like we’re potentially off sport until at least half term, if not until summer holidays or even September by the time everything starts again, there’s not much to prep for. As a sports parent…
This year N hasn’t played many tennis matches after one tournament that really put him off. The weather and clashes have also stopped him playing at one locally he does enjoy. But it is a gap that we need to…

Since N started playing tennis matches I’ve been really impressed with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA). Ok, so their website is really slow, but there’s lots of information, and their customer service has been great when I’ve had problems. They…
I’ve not been to watch tennis since I was at 6th form and we visited Queens Club as a school tennis team. We watched Jeremy Bates beating Boris Becker, and saw Tim Henman, who was then just a rising star,…
Ok, so he’s my son so I’m a bit biased, but N does get diddled sometimes. As he gets older, he’s going to have to stand up for himself more, otherwise he’ll get overlooked and forgotten about for things he’s…
Sometimes as parents we can get caught up in things. We discuss an idea, children say yes, everything gets booked in and moves forwards, but then the child backtracks. And everything is halted, putting into question, everything we’ve been paying…
